OUR TECHNOLOGY / CAREHAND
Automation should adapt to care. Not the other way around.
CareHand is advancing a compact, automated approach to lateral patient movement—developed around the physical and operational demands of real hospital environments.
01 / THE CONCEPT
A different way to approach lateral movement.
Our proposed transfer principle aims to reduce reliance on conventional caregiver pushing, pulling and lifting during movement between compatible care surfaces.
This is a technology under development. Intended advantages require engineering and user evaluation; no clinical performance outcome is claimed.
CONCEPTUAL VISUAL · NOT A PRODUCT RENDER02 / DESIGN PRIORITIES
Four requirements. One integrated approach.
CareHand’s priorities connect engineering choices to the realities of use.
Controlled automated movement
Developing and evaluating a distinct approach to lateral transfer, with control and repeatability as central engineering goals.
Compact integration
Working toward a lightweight and portable format intended to fit existing healthcare environments.
Caregiver-supervised operation
Designing for professional preparation and oversight rather than removing the clinician from the process.
Safety and usability by design
Considering stability, handling, workflow compatibility and risk throughout staged engineering development.
03 / DEVELOPMENT APPROACH
From engineering assumptions to evidence.
Develop
Refine engineering requirements, integrate specialist input and prepare prototype work packages.
Evaluate
Measure movement, reliability, stability, setup and other performance criteria through non-clinical testing.
Prepare for use
Build risk, usability and regulatory evidence before progressing toward intended clinical applications.
LOOKING AHEAD
Technology developed for healthcare beyond one market.
Our ambition is to develop a repeatable medical technology product with a path to international healthcare use, informed by engineering evidence and clinical needs.
